Anxious wait is over

For those that didn't receive their VCE results early this year, the anxious wait is finally over.

Maffra Secondary College Dux Molly Angliss obtained an ATAR Score of 96.75, and hopes to pursue a career in medicine.

FOR those that didn't receive their VCE results early this year, the anxious wait is finally over.

After 2000 students saw their results five days ahead of schedule following an embarrassing technical glitch, the majority of the class of 2016 found out their results yesterday morning, with local schools thrilled at their students' hard work and dedication over the year.

Gippsland Grammar's Dux was Anna Morscheck, who obtained an ATAR score of 98.95, with a perfect score of 50 for English language.

Gippsland Grammar's median ATAR score was 73.2, and 8 per cent of the students achieved a score above 95, placing them in the top 5 per cent of the state.

Of the entire year level, 19 per cent of students obtained an ATAR score of over 90 putting them in the top 10 per cent of the state, whilst 39 per cent per cent obtained an ATAR score over 80, placing them in the top 20 per cent.

The school's average study score was 31.4, and as 8.3 per cent of the study scores were over 40, the school will be published on the VCE High Achiever's list.

The school noted that seven out of their top ten ATARs were scored by girls.

Gippsland Grammar principal David Baker said the school was thrilled with the outstanding results attained by their high achieving students.

"We would like to congratulate all of our students who successfully obtained their VCE or VCAL certificates and also our dedicated staff who have worked tirelessly to assist these students for many years," Mr Baker said.

"Another outstanding result for Gippsland Grammar, we're very proud of all of our students."

The Dux of Catholic College Sale this year was Sean Duivenvoorden, with a score of 98.05.

The school commended Stephanie Howson on her perfect score of 50 in psychology, allowing her to join the other 64 study scores of 40 or above across 15 subject areas, and the 13 per cent of students receiving an ATAR of 90 or above.

Catholic College Sale principal Chris Randell said he was very excited about this year's VCE results, as well as celebrating the students who have already received their apprenticeships and traineeships.

"These are wonderful results for our students and reinforces our commitment to assisting all students to achieve their chosen pathway," Mr Randell said.

Maffra Secondary College announced its Dux of 2016 as Molly Angliss, with an ATAR result of 96.75.

The school was thrilled with Molly's performance, applauding her great commitment and dedication to her studies throughout the year.

Molly is looking to pursue a career in medicine, and was fortunate to receive an early conditional offer from a major university.

"I'm going to wait and see what other offers come, but I'm really excited that I'm one step closer to my dream of becoming a GP in a rural community like ours," she said.

Maffra Secondary College had 58 students complete their year 12 studies this year, and principal Adam Hogan said the year level was a really unique group that had been very close over their six years together.

"They've supported and challenged each other all the way through, and we believe this is reflected in their impressive results this year", said Mr Hogan.

"We're very proud of all of our students this year, who will go on to access a range of pathways.

"We're really proud of Molly, who has shown such dedication to her studies this year, and has been a very genuine and passionate individual who has been a great role model across the college."

Sale College's Dux was Luka Corrigan, who obtained an ATAR of 91.75, and aims to study Computer Engineering at a tertiary level.

Close behind Luka were Melinda Booth with a score of 90.15, who is considering studying Arts Law, and Amy Purdon with a score of 88.9, who would like to study Commerce IT, and Alex Downie with a score of 87.65, who intends to study Biomedical Science.

Sale College principal Brendan Staple congratulated all the school's students and staff who worked hard all year to achieve some outstanding results.

"We have had a lot of highlights this year that have been rewarded with many successful stories at this end of the year," Mr Staple said.

"Our VCAL program has set records for the number of students participating and successfully completing foundation, intermediate and senior levels.

"Many of these students have gained apprenticeships or will go on to further training opportunities.

"In VCE, we have once again got the majority of students through to the end of the year with solid pathways plans that can be achieved with their results.

"The most important thing now is not what you got in terms of results but where they will take you.

"I would like to congratulate all students from our Wellington District schools for their efforts and wish them all the best for their futures."
